On my fessy SD10 3x5 when tuning my 6th G# with my peterson strobe o flip, I notice that if i hit my E lever the 6th string goes sharp. Makes my guitar go out of tune when i use b pedal and e lever or what ever i do using the e lever. Any Ideas anyone.

Look at the changer fingers or in the back where the nylon tuners are. Sometimes on my Fessy, the top level changers get caught up on the bottom level ones. I just take the tip of a small screwdriver and GINGERLY pry them off each other.

That's called 'cabinet raise'.

The tension on the instrument is lessened (by lowering the E strings), so the other strings all raise in pitch slightly.
This is usually most noticeable on a plain sixth string, using a wound sixth will make the problem disappear

I'll check the fingers, I have tried a wound 6th previosly and had trouble with the string returning properly when i released the B pedal. Wasn't sucessful adjusting the return spring so I went to a plain 20 gauge and cured that problem. That was some time ago before I noticed my current problem. Might have to go back to a wound and try again. gonna go check it and get back to the forum. thanks for the responses. Roy

The one that drives me nuts is the flattened 6th string when the A pedal is engaged. Annoying!!

The only guitar I've owned with little or no cabinet drop is my Sho~Bud Professional. Like a rock.
